I've been looking into game engines for flash trying to find one that will work for my game. Push Button Engine looks like it might be the one I'm going with, but I'm still looking around. Flixel might be another that I look into.

the yellow ship is following the red ship, I gave it a different speed and turning so it couldn't catch itthe purple ship has its code rewritten into a class structure that is a start for actual ships and turretsit also has a rewrite of my movement code thats getting closer to what I want

my class structure starts with my baseunit class, which is essentially the turret classfrom there I'm branching off my flyers into a class and a real turret class that will handle firing bullets(which of course are going to be a sub class of flyers)
